ABOUT

This the 3rd edition of the International Federations Summit, in association with SVG: To be held in Lausanne Switzerland, the home of the IOC and many of the International  Federations. They are responsible for securing host cities for their World Championships and regional events as well as their sport’s growth; both participation and revenue. 

Background: Following attendance at the Major Events Summit by CEO of World Archery, Tom Dielen, he proposed MEI’s event-support approach for the Federations, and is now a strong advocate. The Federations Summit has now evolved into a proven format where suppliers share best practice with International Federations, who then cascade this knowledge down to LOCs. 

The Summit Approach:  has all the same characteristics as all other MEI events: highly interactive, panel briefings by sports rights holders and open sessions of questions, some more bespoke subject and/or sector groups meeting in a “sharing best practice and or learning” format which has the benefit of forming enduring relationships.  This Major Events Summit 2019 Video is a great summary of the calibre of attendees and their feedback on the Summit format.  

Attendees: 100 to 150 delegates with a mix of circa 30 Sports Organisations, plus multi-sector representatives from experts and suppliers. A new initiative this year is the collaboration with the well-established Sports Video Group as presenting partners. SVG specialise in the Broadcast Sector. They will provide broadcast-related content and a new technology-focused group of supplier companies.




TESTIMONIALS 

It was a pleasure to attend the forum co-hosted by MEI and World Archery on behalf of the IWGA. I always learn (and report afterwards) where and how to engage with existing companies, even though many of the services provided are more important for our host cities (which are quite few, compared to International Federations). Of course the more we know, the more we can guide them.

Sebastian Riedeger, International World Games Assocation

Great opportunity to learn what companies and capabilities are out there so we know exactly who to contact in the future when we require a certain capability exactly who to contact.

Anthony Scanlon, International Golf Federation

The International Federations Summit this year in Lausanne turned out to be a great opportunity to meet commercial companies, to hear about the services they provide and explore potential opportunities. It was helpful to tap into the collective expertise within the room, and I came away with some interesting ideas and food for thought..
